The last 3 packs of these cigarettes I have purchased have been almost impossible to crush the menthol pellet in the filter, resulting in at least half the pack being un-crushed, yet with squashed filters. My most recent pack has been the worst with only three of 20 being able to be activated properly, and this is a significant drop in quality. Previously to this, I have not had an issue, however currently, this most recent pack is performing very poorly.
